A thoughtful biography about the charismatic lawyer and voice of the common people of Ireland, mostly Catholics, who had been displaced by the English and Scottish in the time of Cromwell and had suffered for centuries in an ignorant, downtrodden and servile state of torpor and near starvation under English rule.
There are 368 pages in the biography. There is a frontispiece lithograph portrait of O’Connell, eleven additional illustration plates in the text.
This edition was printed in December 1938 and is in reasonably good condition.
